Quarrel not at al. No man, resolved to

construction was agreed upon in 1882,
the obirct being 10 carry off the wa

to The BamzeitNmg fir Ung0rn il forms
the longest tunnel in the world, being
1927 miles long, or about one mile
longer than St. Gothard, and . miles
longer than Mont Gents. The height
is 9f. 1Oin. and the breadth 5ft. Bin.

however, worth notice, for il we have
the advantage OF our great grandfa-

pIiauceS they certainly were better off
in The price of labour. The original
contract for the tunnel, made in 1882,
was that il should be completed in 80

at this price, but the French Revo'u-

30 venrs. little progress was made.
For ten years following much pro-

more. She went TO Philadelphia and had the divorce
set aside on the ground or fraud and returning
here she filed a petition for divorce, charging
was filed by her TO restrain the transfer OF her In
terest TO certain property in this city, and by her
husband to Lena ID. Carter. In the meantime the
Philadelphia court, recognizing the fraud Of
Major Nickerson, placed the matter in the hands Of
the prosecuting officer. and NickerSOn was in
dicted for fraud and Subortination of perjury
While this was being done the War Department
took cogniZance OF the fact OF Major Nickerson's

tial was designated to try him. At this time he
left the country and is now in Canada. In the
proceedings to day Mr.. j. +. Johnson, her coun-
